Sister M. Michela Cozzolino, Superior General, Sr.M. Christine Bajo, Vicar General, Sr. M. Immacolata Savanelli, Secretary General of the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate in Italy ( Suore Francescane dell Immacolata) are teaching an irrationality to lay Catholics. This is done in general catechesis and Religion Class.They use Catechism books which have an imprimatur.I have seen one of them.It is approved by Fr.Fidenzio Volpi OFM, Commissioner for the Franciscans of the Immaculate and Cardinal Braz de Aviz , Prefect for the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life ( Catholic Religious Communities).

With the approval of Fr.Fidenzio Volpi Italian school children are taught by the Sisters :-

1. We human beings can physically see the dead in Heaven.

2. We can know someone in Heaven in the present times who is there without 'faith and baptism'.So they are taught to infer that the baptism of desire and being saved in inculpable ignorance are exceptions to the rigorist interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.So non Catholics did not have to convert in the present times the children are taught. So the children are taught by the Suore Francescane dell Immacolata that every one does not need to formally enter the Catholic Church for salvation.Since there are known exceptions for them.

CHILDREN TAUGHT FACTUAL ERROR

With the approval of Cardinal Braz de Avez school children are taught by the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate a factual error. Even the other religious communities are teaching the same error.

School children, are taught that for Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith the baptism of water was not always necessary for salvation and 'God is not limited to the Sacraments.'(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1257).

So young Catholics have to infer that for Cardinal Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI this was the reasoning:-

1. We human beings including the popes, can physically see the dead in Heaven.(Otherwise how could there be exceptions?)

2. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger knew someone in Heaven during the time he was working on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, who was there without 'faith and baptism' and this case was personally known to him.(So it became an explicit exception for him)

A factual error is being taught to Italian Catholic students.It is an objective error which would be noticed even by non Catholics.Since the inferences are irrational.

Then the children are told that Cardinal Francesco Marchetti Selvaggiani, in the Letter of the Holy Office 1949, inferred that the dead are visible in the present times and that we can tell who will be saved without the baptism of water.

For this Italian cardinal too, like the Archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Cushing, there were known exceptions to all needing to formally enter the Church.This was the major theological change in the Catholic Church. A re-orientation of the only Church of Jesus Christ.The children have to accept this re-orientation, based on an irrational premise and inference.

IRRATIONALITY IN DETROIT SCHOOLS

Bishop Arturo Cepeda Director of the Department of Evangelization, Catechesis and Schools, agrees that this is the reasoning taught to Catholic students in Detroit, Michigan,USA.1It is similar to Italy.

He does not deny that this reasoning is irrational.It is the standard reasoning in schools in the Archdiocese of Detroit and the rest of the USA. So the proclamation of the Good News has been changed.Other related doctrines of the Church have also changed.

TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS

The Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate have the Traditional Latin Mass made available for them unlike the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate.It is the old Latin Mass but the ecclesiology is new. They do not have the traditional exclusivist ecclesiology. There cannot be an exclusivist ecclesiology associated with Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form for them. Since the Sisters reject the rigorist interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.This is done when they infer that people in Heaven are visible and known to them in the present times ( 2015).For them these known cases of the deceased, in Heaven, are there without the baptism of water and Catholic Faith.

This is what they teach children in Italy. First they presume that persons saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire refer to personally known cases, who are in Heaven without the baptism of water. Then they infer that since these cases are known to them in April 2015 they are explicit , seen in the flesh exceptions.They are exceptions to the traditional interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, usually associated with the Traditional Latin Mass.So they conclude that Vatican Council II is a break with the traditional interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Syllabus of Errors etc. -Lionel Andrades
